I wonder if there's a theme that displays comments right on the reading page, I feel like scrolling through one long page would be a lower-effort way of reading than having to open everything in a new tab.

(because of course I want to read the comments on basically everything, those are where social interaction happens, which is the ostensible purpose of this whole social media thing)

Of course, it's very possible this is something I'll get used to in like a week. So probably I shouldn't start bodging my own Chrome extension for it yet. Complaining into the void will have to do :p

(Another thing I need to get used to: people having multiple icons. I'm so used to being able to recognize someone just by glancing at their icon, like looking at an IRL person's face, and then suddenly on Dreamwidth some people have multiple faces!)

Hello!

Apparently lots of people are moving here from tumblr now. So, hello Dreamwidth! It's looking very 2009 in here :)

If tumblr does end up dying I think I'll miss the reblog structure — everything I've seen floated as a tumblr alternative seems to instead have the more classic blog-style split between Posts and Comments, which I think encourages a slightly different mode of interaction. It's not as naturally set up for this kind of interaction, for example. 

Speaking of tumblr alternatives, I sincerely doubt Pillowfort's going to become the Next Big Thing, because they seem not very good at making their site able to deal with high traffic. But I do kinda hope they'll defy my expectations, because I've managed to snag my preferred three-letter username, and getting to have a three-letter username on a popular platform would be so cool you guys
